For my first real piece about the show it only seems right to start with the group that made the entire festival a possibility. Before closing out the night as the headlining act, Atmosphere was introduced by the one and only Sway who had some very kind words to share about his thoughts of the…
So now that the show is over and festival goers have washed off the dirt and sweat it is time to reflect on this years show. To say it was huge would be an understatement. The talent was second to none, the weather couldn’t have been much better, and of course the audience came in…
This past weekend was this year’s Spring Boston Calling Festival. Expanding this year to 2 ½ days of music at City Hall Plaza, there were over 20 bands for people to rock out to. Or awkwardly sway to. Fucking Hipsters. I know they’re all look at me with their fedoras, checkered shorts, and thrift stores…
Since 2008 when the Soundset Festival first started it has seen exponential growth every year in basically every facet. But for the first time ever in its history it reached the milestone of selling out the entire show. Having been to several of the events in the past I literally never thought it was even…
Sometimes I think about when bands are starting to make it big and they start playing bigger venues. Eventually they’ll get to the point where they are opening at some huge arena for the biggest band on the planet. They’ll talk about how it was always their dream to open for Springsteen or whoever (whomever?…
What is it about British musicians that confuse Americans into thinking that they’re tough? Maybe its just the accent, but it sounds like every songwriter finishes up their 7th pint at the pub, strolls down the street, and knocks out some guy for giving him a dirty look, before stumbling on stage and strumming away….
Initially I was going to write about this album on 4/20. You know the day that everybody that never needed an excuse to smoke pot decided to use as an excuse to smoke pot. I know man…. I don’t get it, I don’t think anyone gets it and yes I have fallen victim to it’s…
I once brought my girlfriend to see Rocky Votolato play a show at someone’s apartment. I kept it a surprise because I thought it was so cool that we could go see a private show from one of our favorite songwriters in some random living room. We got to the door and a scantily clad young…
Ya, ya…. I know this album is old but you know what? It still rocks hard… real fucking hard. So just bare with me one this one, you won’t regret it. Released in 1975 Sabotage is Sabbaths sixth studio album and in my opinion one of their most underrated. We’ve all heard Iron Man, War…
I should read more books. Every once in awhile I’ll pick up a novel and it will blow me away. Even if I’ve read it before, if it’s special enough I’ll spend weeks thinking about it. Sometimes it’s good for me, I’ll read Three Men in a Boat and remember that people have been laughing…
